KING WINTERS COURT.

Christmas Scenes in Song at Masonic
Temple-Signorsa and Senoritas.
A veritable Santa Claus in red coat and
hat, with his huge pack of toys slung across
his back, came down the chimney all sooty
and brown, and stepped through the broad
open fireplace upon tie stage at Masonic
Hall last night. 1t was Santa Claus in Mrs.
Burke's Christmas cantata, king Winter. 4"
The little folks in the audience clapped their
hands when they saw old Santa, for he was
their favorite.
The cantata was very prettily given. Mr..
Robert Cornwall was gray old King Winter,
and Miss Fodie Shivers was his pretty
Queen in Sunderland. Miss Mamie Proc
to, was the Dream Fairy. and old Santa
Claus was Mr.. w. de Bruyn Kops Mas
ter Willie Dancy was the Kings page. The
chorus was composed of the members of ST.
Johns Sunday school.
The cantata is a series of very prettily
arranged scenes and il is full of bright aud
catchy music. The first scene was the pro-
posal of King Winter. One of the prettiest
parts of the entertainment was the dancing
in Spanish costume by the Misses and Mas
ter Moynelo and Master and Miss Wilcox
They appeared in the full costume of high
born Castilian, with guitar, tambourine
and castanet and danced the grace
full Spanish figures as though
they were little maids and masters from
Spain. They danced SO prettily that the au-
dience wanted them to appear again and
they came out in the second scene.
After the proposal of King Winter came
Santa Claus and the Court of Sunderland
in Council. and then the last scene in which
Santa Claus plans a surprise. All Of the
solos were well sung. Miss Proctor's con-
tralto solo, Father, Oh, Hear U.s. was
very sweetly sung.
All of the scenes were cleverly arranged
King Winters court was brilliant assem-
bly,, and the Christmas tree, with its boughs
laden with gifts, was admirably gotten up
The cantata throughout was very cleveriy
given.
Mrs. Burke, who had charge of it, and
conducted all the rehearsals was assisted in
the stage management by Mr. j. d. Miller
After the cantata the ladies of ST. Johns
Rectory Society served refreshments, and
the Young people danced

YOUNG MARIN GOES FREE
he rs TURNED LOOSE BY THE
CORCNER'S JURY.

The killing of the Negro, John
Williams, an Accident-The Story OF
the Assault Upon Marin as Told by
Witnesses Jury's Verdict.
Coroner Dixon held an investigation yes
Ierday into the killing of the negro
John Williams by young Oscar Marin last
Monday. The investigation was held at
Justice Molina's Office. The jury had pre-
viously examined the body of the negro,
which lay at the undertaking rooms. A
humber of witnesses were summoned and
the usual crowd of spectators was on hand.
Marin, who has been held at the police
barracks since the shooting, was brought
n and took a seat beside his counsel, r.
R. Richards, ESQ.
There were but trifing contradictions in
the testimony of all the witnesses who ac-
tualiy saw the shooting, and the evidence
forroborated the accounts that have already
been given in the MORNING NEWS.
STORY OF THE AFFRAY.
A party of young white boys, consisting
pf Oscar Marin, younger brother, A. B.
Decker and Eddie Sack were going along
Barnard street, and had reached the corner
Of Henry when they came upon party of
negroes, who had stretched themselves
across the sidewalk to impede their way
The boys made futile effort TO pass, and
all except Oscar Marin turned and went
back He was more determined than the
remainder and attempted to force his way.
One of the negroes caught him by the
collar and struck him over the head with a
ttick. He gave up the intention of passing,
and went to his home near by and pretty
toon returned with a rife in his hand. The
negroes seeing this started TO meet him, and
when they came up to him a struggle en-
tued. In this struggle which seemed, on
the part of the negroes, to be to get posses
sion of the gun, it went off and the con-
tents lodged in the abdomen Of John
Williams.
SET UPON BY THE CROWD.
The other negroes set upon Marin and
bad him on the ground when bystanders
separated them. Marin was arrested and
twas kept in the barracks until the death of
Williams, which occurred Thursday at the
Georgia Infrmary.
The testimony of the witnesses indicated
that the gun went off in a struggle in which
three or more We're engaged, and with the
peacemakers attempting to prevent it being
tired. The parties were all too close togeth-
Or for any deliberate aim to be taken, or
demonstration made to shoot any particu-
tar one of the crowd, and it was upon this
fact that the jury evidently based their YER
dict which read as follows: 1--WE are of the
opinion that John Williams came to his
death from gunshot wound, the gun being
10 the hands of Oscar Marin, and two UNI
known negro men. From the evidence we
cannot decide who caused the discharge of
the gun, and we consider il accidental.
YOUNG MARIN RELEASED.
Upon the rendering of this verdict young
Marin was rolan sad aud ini11ad his family
which was present. There was an evidence
In their locks that a heavy load had been
lifted from their hearts. Beyond this there
was no other demonstration.

BLEW HIS HEAD OFF.
Suicide Of Miss Lows Aff1anced Hus-
band in bennington, Eng.

bQlClQ6 MISS LOW b A1udQC6Q nus
band in bennington, Eng.
Maj. J. f. Green, who was engaged to
marry Miss Low, daughter of the late
Andrew Low. committed suicide in Lean
ington, Eng, last week. A London cable
gram tells the story of the tragedy.
The marriage with Miss Low was to take
place soon after New Years. and Mai.
Green was spending his holidays with the
family of his fiancee. On Monday morning,
Dec. 49, while the family were breakfasting,
Mrs. Ann Sophia Raynor, who is described
as a tall. handsome lady about 80, called
and desired to see the Major.
Immediately Mr.. Green seemed very
much confused and dislnayed and sent
word to the lady to meet him at the Claren-
don Hotel in half an hour Turning to his
entertainers, the Major said that the lady
was the widow of brother officer, who had
fallen in the Ashantee war, and was CON
stantly bothering him about business mat
ters.
But half satisfied at the lame explanation
the family saw the Major ride off to Lean
ington, and within half an hour were APP
prised of his self-destruction. Its said that
Maj. Green had for some years been very
Intimate with Mrs. Raynor, who is a dash
ing widow of Maidenhead, on the Thames.
The announcement of his engagement to
Miss Low greatly Infatuated her, and it is
said that when closeted with him in the
room at the Clarendon she threatened to
make certain damaging disclosures unless
the engagement were Immediately broken
off. Tbs Major, in tof despair, snatched
a bird gun standing by and discharged it at
his face. Half of his head was blown off.
but he lived several hours in terrible agony.
